Cinnamon-Apple Pancakes with Warm Honey Apples
Uses: pancake mix, apple, milk, honey
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup pancake mix
- Milk, according to pancake-mix directions, about 1/4 cup
- 1/2 apple, thinly sliced or finely diced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Tiny pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon oil for the pan
Instructions:
- Prepare the pancake batter with the pancake mix and milk according to the package directions. Stir only until the dry mix is moistened.
- Place the apple in a small skillet with 1 tablespoon water, cinnamon, honey, and a tiny pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until the apple begins to soften but still holds its shape. Transfer to a bowl.
- Wipe the skillet if needed, add a very light coating of oil, and cook 2 to 3 small pancakes over medium heat. Flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Stack the warm pancakes and spoon the cinnamon-honey apples over the top. Serve immediately.
Good for: A cozy first-cool-morning breakfast with familiar pancake flavor and warm autumn apples.
Optional: Add a little orange zest to the apples if you want a brighter citrus note.
